Much before fame and fortune swung by in Vergara’s life, she found herself enjoying marital bliss in 1991 with the first love of her life – Joe Gonzalez.
The two were high school sweethearts and the couple joyfully welcomed their son, Manolo, when she was just 18.
After two years of parenthood, their love story took an unexpected turn leading to a divorce in 1993. Despite the challenges, Sofía remained dedicated to providing the best upbringing for Manolo. She reflected on her journey as a single mother and told People, “I was really young when I divorced his father, so I raised him trying to set the best example and give him the best that I could.”
As for Joe and Sofía, the two have kept in touch. In 2011 she shared with Parade, “We’re still close friends. When Jose comes to the United States, he stays with me.”

Luis Miguel (1995)
Two years following her split with Gonzalez, the Modern Family star entered a brief romantic entanglement with Mexican singer Luis Miguel. The two were speculated to be dating for a few months, though neither party has officially confirmed or denied the relationship.
The 1995 liaison with Miguel adds a dash of mystery to Sofía Vergara’s dating history, leaving fans curious about the men who made the heart stop of their woman of dreams.
Chris Paciello (1999)
Around 1999, Sofía Vergara found love with Miami club entrepreneur Chris Paciello. The relationship, which unfolded in the late ’90s, appeared to be filled with love, according to several reports dated back in the time. However, their love paradise faced a tumultuous twist when Paciello encountered legal troubles, resulting in a 10-year prison sentence for his involvement in a mob-related murder.
The unfortunate turn of events proved to be a challenging chapter for Sofía and Chris, ultimately leading to the abrupt end of their once-promising connection.
Tom Cruise (2005)
In 2005, Sofía Vergara explored a brief romantic connection with Hollywood heartthrob Tom Cruise. As detailed by Andrew Morton, the author of Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography, Cruise, a devout follower of Scientology, presented church leaders with a roster of women he wished to pursue romantically. Notably, among the names on this list was the then-new girl on the block Vergara. She was dazzled by Tom’s megawatt smile and charmed by the flurry of attention that followed their initial meeting.
However, their budding relationship faced an abrupt conclusion. According to Morton, it became evident that Vergara was unwittingly auditioning for a role larger than any film part – that of ‘Mrs. Tom Cruise.’ The conditions were laid bare: should she accept this metaphorical role, she would be required to forsake her Catholic faith and embrace Scientology. But, the relationship faltered before it could blossom.
Nick Loeb (2010-2014)
After being off the dating scene for almost five years, Sofía sparked relationship rumours with actor-businessman Nick Loeb. After dating for two years, they got engaged in 2012 but eventually called off the engagement in May 2014. The breakup was confirmed by Sofía herself on her WhoSay account, where she shared, “Nick and I have [decided] to be apart. We have [been] having too many problems with figuring out how to spend time together, and [because] of my work and now his, it’s been getting worse and worse, not fun anymore.”
Despite the separation, she emphasised their continued closeness.
However, their love-break-up saga tasted legal troubles from 2015 to 2017 over frozen embryos created during their relationship. Nick Loeb, in a New York Times op-ed, argued for the embryos ‘right to live, leading to a lawsuit, which he ultimately lost.
Currently, reports suggest he is pursuing legal action against the fertility clinic they used. Well, complexities and controversies are all part of celebrity relationships, we say.
Joe Manganiello (2014-2024)
The next dude to sweep Sofía off her rather high heels was actor Joe Manganiello. Their whirlwind romance began in 2014 and immediately started capturing the public’s attention. From a summer meeting to a Christmas Eve engagement in the same year, the couple swiftly exchanged vows in November 2015. However, after seven years of marriage, the duo decided to part ways. In a joint statement to Page Six, Sofía and Joe expressed their enduring love and requested privacy during this challenging time.
Around the time of separation in 2022 sources revealed to the Daily Mail that the split was attributed to ‘different attitudes’ that gradually led to distance. The insider explained, “They grew apart from something that could have been really good.”
Now following her recent divorce Sofía herself in an interview with EL PAÍS opened up about her second divorce, citing age-related differences and a desire for a different life path. She expressed, “Well, I’m newly divorced from my second husband [actor Joe Manganiello], who I was with for 10 years. My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids and I didn’t want to be an old mom.”
“I feel it’s not fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that’s not for me anymore. I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother. So, if love comes along, he has to come with [his own] children.”
Well, despite the divorce, the couple is committed to maintaining a friendly relationship, acknowledging the complexities that affect even high-profile romances.
